Hey there,
I should have introduced myself a few months ago, instead my first post was in the Replica ID section for my first Breitling a Montbrillant Legende. Soon followed by a Blackbird ID post (and still no intro), then a Chrono Avenger (several candidates till I finally got one). So I wanted to make it right and introduce myself with extra special thanks to the fine people that have endured my frenzied is-it-real posts of late. Thank You Very Very Much.
I'm an CG Artist/Designer (2D & 3D), formerly in the Film Digital SFx industry and currently in the Real-Time Graphics field. As frustrated architect and industrial designer, I'm drawn to the architectural aspects of a given watch and have been known to buy just about anything for that reason. I've loved watches as long as I can remember, but never owned more than 3 till about four years ago. My goal at the time was unique yet affordable pieces for every occasion...so yes, I was trapped by the TV watch thing for a year or so. But that's all over now.
For the last 2 years my collection has expanded into some micro diver brands like Zinex, Halios, and Deep Blue. Then onto more classic brands like Omega, Eterna, Certina, Hamilton, Oris, and now Breitling. I honestly don't know what took me so long to get here and to this great resource you have built.
Thanks again
